Back in October I started my Christmas preparations, not because I was being efficient but simply because I had to get Christmas parcels in the post to distant places (& not so distant places!)
I always try to theme my Christmas wrapping: this year I chose quite a simple look based on some lovely gift wrap that I had found. The gift wrap is similar in look and feel to ordinary brown paper (the parcel type) but is printed with gold flourishes and swirls. It actually sounds better than I can describe it!
I made gift tags to match the paper -
I die cut the tags with a Sizzix Bigz Scallop tag die (middle sized tag) and then stamped the image using gold ink. I then coloured just the holly & berries. Threaded with gold coloured gift ribbon, they matched the paper perfectly.
